Does the help information in System Generator for DSP offer similar parameters?

Solution

Currently, no detailed help on this topic is available; however, you can find this information in the following two ways:

1. Block Data Tips

Block data tips offer insight into the variables underneath the masked Xilinx blocks. You can activate these tips by selecting the following menus in a Simulink model:

View -> Block data tips options -> Parameter names and values

If you rest the mouse pointer on any block, the parameter names will appear.

2. Unmask a Subsystem

Each Xilinx block is a masked subsystem that hides the details of the simulation function for that block and presents the block parameters to you in a readable, user-friendly manner. These block parameters control the parameter variables that drive the S-Function simulation model.

To unmask a block and view its details, you must first unlink the block from its library as follows:

Right-click on the block -> Link options -> Break Link

This enables editing of the block so that it can be unmasked:

Right-click on the block -> Edit Mask

This reveals the Mask Editor -- you can view all parameter variables under the Parameters tab.
